Mavericks-Thunder Preview


There's a strong possibility that Oklahoma City and Dallas could meet in the
first round of the playoffs.

That likely would be just fine with the Thunder.

奧克拉荷馬雷霆與達拉斯小牛的對戰，極可能是季後賽的前哨戰，這對雷霆
來說是絕佳的優勢。


Oklahoma City seeks its 12th consecutive win in the series when it hosts the
Mavericks on Sunday night.

雷霆明天希望拿下對戰小牛的12連勝。


The Thunder (48-17) have split their last 10 games to fall one behind San
Antonio, which has won nine straight, for home-court advantage throughout the
Western Conference playoffs. They've followed back-to-back road losses by
winning two straight at home, including Thursday's 131-102 victory over the
Los Angeles Lakers.

48勝17敗的雷霆，近10場5勝5敗，因此戰績落後給九連勝的聖安東尼奧馬刺
一場，居西區第二。他們在客場吞下二連敗，不過在之後的兩場主場皆捷，
前天已131-102主場痛宰洛杉磯湖人。


Kevin Durant scored 29 points despite being in foul trouble, and Russell
Westbrook also finished with 29 to go along with nine assists as Oklahoma
City won its fifth straight home contest.

Kevin Durant儘管有犯規麻煩依舊輕鬆攻下29分，Russell Westbrook也拿到
29分9助攻，雷霆目前主場五連勝。


"It's real fun, especially when we win," said Westbrook, averaging 27.3
points over his last four. "As long as we continue to do a good job of
playing together and everybody gets in a good groove, I think we'll be all
right."

Westbrook近四場平均拿到27.3分，他說："比賽很有趣，尤其是贏球的時候，
當我們做好自己的工作，展現團隊精神，大家都保持好的狀態時，我們的表現
就不會太差。"


That's certainly been the case against the Mavericks recently. Oklahoma City
never trailed in the second half of a 107-93 home win over Dallas on Nov. 6
in the teams' lone matchup this season. That extended the Thunder's series
winning streak to 11, which includes a first-round sweep in the 2012 playoffs.

這也是雷霆最近幾次對上小牛得心應手的原因，兩隊在本季唯一一次時，雷霆
以107-93主場打敗小牛，且下半場完全沒有處於落後過。這讓雷霆在季賽與季
後賽合計，拿下對戰小牛的11連勝。


Serge Ibaka had 17 points and 13 assists in the most recent meeting, and he
finished with 15 points and 13 boards Thursday for his third straight
double-double. He's averaged 14.6 rebounds in that span and has 11 blocked
shots over the last two.

Serge Ibaka該場拿到17分13籃板，前天他則是拿到15分13籃板，他已經連續三
場達成雙十，並且近兩場平均抓下14.6個籃板，一共蓋了11記火鍋。


"Serge has really been good. He's having a good year," coach Scott Brooks
told the team's official website. "This is a stretch where we're seeing more
growth. He's chasing down shots, altering and blocking them. He's getting
rebounds, spotting up and driving. He's really picked up his game. He's very
efficient."

雷霆教練Scott Brooks在球隊官網訪問說到："Ibaka近況很棒，他今年脫胎換骨，
我們最近看到他的成長。他努力去封蓋對手，拼命的搶籃板，定點跳投與切入也有
一定的水準，他打的十分有效率。"


Following this contest, Dallas begins a crucial eight-game homestand that
includes a rematch with the Thunder on March 25. The Mavericks (39-27), who
have won three of four, are in a tight battle with Memphis and Phoenix for
one of the final two playoff spots in the West.

在明天的比賽之後，小牛將迎接關乎最終排名的主場八連戰，其中包括與雷霆的
一次交手。目前39勝27敗的小牛，拿下最近四場比賽中的三勝，正與曼斐斯灰熊
和鳳凰城太陽爭奪季後賽的最後兩個席位。


Dirk Nowitzki moved into 12th place on the NBA's all-time scoring list after
netting 31 points in Wednesday's 108-101 win over Utah. He hit 12 of 14 from
the field and all four of his 3-point attempts after shooting 7 for 25
overall and totaling 26 points over his previous two.

Dirk Nowitzki前場投14中12，三分球四投全進攻下31分，在NBA的歷史得分榜來
到第12位，幫助小牛以108-101客場打敗猶他爵士，擺脫了前兩場比賽投25中7，
僅得26分的低潮。


"I was determined to set a more aggressive tone," Nowitzki said. "I haven't
been quite on fire lately, but I got out early and was really looking to get
my groove."

Dirk說："我決定要打的更積極，我的近況不太好，但這場我很快的找到手感，並
且維持下去。"


A three-day break since that win gave Dallas a chance to heal up.

在那場比賽之後小牛得到3天的休息，讓他們的球員們得以好好養傷。


Forward Jae Crowder has missed the last two games with a strained abdominal
muscle but said he hopes to play against the Thunder. Guard Devin Harris has
been battling a strained Achilles, though he scored 12 points Wednesday
despite being a game-time decision.

前鋒Jae Crowder最近兩場比賽因為扭傷腹部肌肉缺陣，明天有希望能上場，而後
衛Devin Harris則是阿基里斯腱拉傷，不過對爵士時他帶傷上陣，攻下12分。



"Whatever the schedule is, we have to maximize it. (The break) for us I'm
going to say comes at a good time," coach Rick Carlisle said. "We've got a
couple of guys that are nursing some minor aches and pains, and we want to
get those things resolved. And they're good work days, so it's work and prep,
because we've got a bunch of games coming up starting on Sunday."

小牛教練Rick Carlisle說："不管賽程如何，我們都要好好利用這段空檔，能夠
休息幾天是好事，我們有不少球員帶著傷打球，希望休息能讓他們康復。我們會
在練球時做好準備，接下來有很多重要的比賽等著我們。"


Nowitzki has been held to 11.7 points per game on 11-of-34 shooting in his
last three visits to Oklahoma City, where the Mavs have lost seven straight -
including the playoffs.

Dirk最近三次作客雷霆主場，投34僅中11，平均攻下11.7分，小牛在季賽與季後
賽合計已經吞下對戰雷霆的客場七連敗。


Durant has averaged 33.0 points in five meetings since the start of last
season, and the Thunder have scored at least 107 in each.

Durant最近五次對上小牛平均攻下33.0分，而雷霆最少也能得到107分。


其實雖然對雷霆11連敗  但是有很多比賽打的很接近啊...
但是對面有Durant跟Westbrook兩個恐怖的關鍵得分手
總之希望明天能加油  盡力贏下來吧!!

Let's Go Mavs!!
